Ah I really do like the buy/rent feature. Seems to make sense : )

Good luck on the external review portion of the changes. Seems like many of the reviews I used to read faithfully are now owned by the game publishers --- just a small conflict of interest there ya' know!
Maybe a place to show who owns whatever review site the content is coming from would help. At least then we'll know when we're being mind controlled...

I'm not sure where the conflict of interest would lie exactly.
gamerDNA itself doesn't review, only its members do.
Actually individual gDNA staff members do review, but I don't think that would create a conflict unless developer, publisher, etc. would sponsor them.

These new, external reviews show the "Crispy Gamer" label quite clearly.
I'm sure future external reviews by others would be shown the same way.
Also, unlike gDNA member reviews, the external ones are indented.

I agree with your sentiment, it really is nice to know where a review is coming from.
That way you can decide to appoint whatever value you think a review by X or Y is worth.
I'm just saying that it's easy enough to distinguish between the two kinds, isn't it?
